Drag racing theory after fatal crash

October 5, 2004

DRAG racing may have been a factor in an early morning Melbourne crash in which an 18-year-old man died.

Sergeant Ron Perrett, of the Major Collision Investigation Unit, today said two cars, a Nissan Skyline and a Honda, were travelling side by side along Dandenong Road at St Kilda when the Skyline struck a power pole shortly after 1am (AEST) today.

The dead man was a back-seat passenger in the Skyline.

Another person in the back seat was critically injured, and two other men in the Skyline were hurt. They were taken to The Alfred hospital.

"We're trying to sort out the reasons why they were travelling together, but we'd be appealing for any witnesses who may have seen either of these vehicles travelling along Dandenong Road or in the Windsor area about one o'clock this morning," Sgt Perrett said on radio station 3AW.

The driver of the Honda stopped at the accident scene and had been "very helpful to police", Sgt Perrett said.

The stretch of Dandenong Road where the accident occurred, west of Chapel Street, passed through a cutting under St Kilda Junction and "certainly has a history of cars using this section of road for racing", Sgt Perrett said.

Police believe all those involved in the crash were in their late teens or early 20s.

The inbound lanes of Dandenong Road were blocked after the accident, but reopened shortly after 7am (AEST).

The death took Victoria's road toll to 270, 18 more than at the same time last year.

I hope no one here was involved.

Condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.

The radio has just said that a second person has died.

Condolences but limited sympathy. Let this be a lesson to everyone. Don't race on the street. Take it to the track.

BASS OUT

I have just left Vic Police Head quarters (as I work for State of Govt) and I just spoke to my mate from head quarters operations and they are preparing a memo for all mobile units to book all P platers with 'illegal' cars. Just be really careful driving over the next few days if you have a turbo and a red P plate in the window! I'll see if I can get more details later in the day. Kepp you posted

Two young men were killed in an apparent street drag racing accident in St Kilda overnight.

The accident occurred about 1.05am when a Nissan Skyline hit a power pole while travelling west along Dandenong Road.

An 18-year-old back-seat passenger in the Skyline died at the scene while another back-seat passenger in his late teens was taken to The Alfred Hospital but has since died. Their names have not yet been released.

The Skyline was travelling side-by-side with a silver Honda at the time of the accident. The driver of the Honda stopped at the scene to assist police with their inquires.

Sergeant Ron Perrett of the Major Collision Investigation Unit said the cause of the accident was still to be confirmed but said the stretch of Dandenong Road where it occurred passes through a cutting under St Kilda Junction and "certainly has a history of cars using this section of road for racing".

"We're trying to sort out the reasons why they were travelling together but we'd be appealing for any witnesses who may have seen either of these vehicles travelling along Dandenong Road or in the Windsor area about one o'clock this morning," Sergeant Perrett told Melbourne radio.

Ambulance spokesman Matt Dowling said another occupant of the Skyline had been taken to The Alfred with a suspected broken collarbone but was in a stable condition. It is not known whether the driver was injured in the accident.

The inbound lanes of Dandenong Road were blocked after the accident but reopened for traffic shortly after 7am.

The death took Victoria's road toll to 271, 19 more than at the same time last year.

Police urge anybody with information about the accident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
